"I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really."
Life
"I think that [William] Faulkner and I each had to escape certain particulars of our lives, and we found salvation through words. I understand the Bible story of Babel so much better now. I think that moments of extremity, desires of escape, lead us to foreign languages--not those learned in schools, but those plucked from the human heart, the searing conditions of isolation. I did not have to be limited to my biography because of words, and I shared this with Faulkner, who invented new words and punctuation and expression and worlds. He utterly reshaped the world."

History
"It's interesting, isn't it? . . . the chandelier . . . it reminds me of mushroom soup."
Art
"Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?"
Memory
"The theatre is a place where one has time for the problems of people to whom one would show the door if they came to one's office for a job."
Drama
"Chance, you've gone past something you couldn't afford to go past; your time, your youth, you've passed it. It's all you had and you've had it."
Time
"We're all of us sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins for life."
